It sounded a but hokey. This one I will most likely skip. Especially with the presence of a love triangle (why do these silly things exist?).<br /><br />Thanks for the review! ~Sara @ Just Another Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870692977272702662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-62797153220682614932014-09-13T17:53:33.972-04:002014-09-13T17:53:33.972-04:00I've only seen negative reviews of this book s...I've only seen negative reviews of this book so I'm going to stay far away from it. I hate it when love triangles seem unnecessarily thrown in. The whole book sounds pretty frustrating.

I'm a little baffled why YA these days keeps trying to stuff love triangles down our throat when I'm under the impression that they are largely poorly received by most readers. I would think they would know that by now and quit it. What a shame...Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-77447712324073689972014-09-09T16:37:07.395-04:002014-09-09T16:37:07.395-04:00Oh no!

Love that city. :)Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698452908549878264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-36973327731647547412014-09-09T11:18:43.239-04:002014-09-09T11:18:43.239-04:00*sigh* Why a love triangle Z?

It's like a staple of YA fiction now which is most frustrating, and surprising actually given how many readers have expressed a distaste for them. Oh well. I think I'll take a pass on this one, but I'm glad the world building was at least a highlight!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-59473733361619077142014-09-08T18:23:28.985-04:002014-09-08T18:23:28.985-04:00I was really intrigued by the cat in the cover, I ...I was really intrigued by the cat in the cover, I swear. I'm not sure this one is for me since it didn't work out for you and I would be frustrated with all the points you pointed out. So sorry this didn't turn out to be the book you wanted. Hoping your next read is stronger!

It seems to be a huge waste od time. <br />I'm all about steampunk, this would surely disappoint me too.Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-108249184924130752014-09-08T14:09:20.008-04:002014-09-08T14:09:20.008-04:00I hate when your reading expectations aren't d...I hate when your reading expectations aren't delivered. I won't be picking this one up because of all the flaws that you pointed out. I have very little reading time as is and I don't want to waste it on a blah read. Hope your next read is better, Z!Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.com
